I just bought this router on Saturday when I moved it this morning won’t connect. I somehow tonight got it connect with when I clicked a button but then husband moved it and won’t connect. What is up with the router not working when moved? Please help me fix this? Thank you
What is your "this router"? Has it a model number?

That's not a router.

Not a useful problem description. It does not say what you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.

_Which_ "a button"?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for the LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot". Pay special attention to "WiFi On/Off button with LED". (Did you press it?)
I didn’t do anything I moved router only two buttons are lite up power and one next to it. I tried rebooting. I unplugged modem and router and replugged in nothing is working
I'm glad to see that you found the "Solution" to your problem(s).
> and I thought this is a place to help you are rude
Thanks for your thoughtful (and punctuation-free) evaluation. And how would you describe someone who apparently can't be bothered to read the User Manual for a device before asking for help with it from volunteers, and then can't even identify the device in question, let alone provide any useful information in a problem description? (Hint: Rude? Inconsiderate? Arrogant? Stupid?) How much help do you expect, given a problem description like, "my unspecified router doesn't work"?
> [...] nothing is working
See "Not a useful problem description [...]", above. Are you trying to use some (unspecified) computer/device with a wired/Ethernet connection or a wireless connection? Should anyone else already know that?
> [...] Get the User Manual. Read. [...]
Did you? I assume not, or else "one next to it" would have read "Internet".
> [...] Pay special attention to "WiFi On/Off button with LED". (Did > you press it?)
Well? If the router LED indicators indicate Power and a good Internet connection, and your (I'll guess) wireless devices (I'll guess again) don't show your (unspecified) router's SSID ("wireless network name") in their available-network lists, then perhaps the dark "WiFi On/Off button with LED" might suggest a possible solution to your problem. (Or, at least, your problem with your router.)
